Just how interesting these men would
be if it we're rot for their wealth and
power il is difficult to say, but, as it il,
they are certainly very interesting. Mr..
Gou.o is trim and smooth and soft N
pose ard movement. Mr.. Field il a.
most boyish, he seems SO ungusrded and
frank and easy-minded. Mir. Ssge is
rather angular in outline aGd uneasy in
manner. lie likes 10 lister, and best q
all % Listen 80 Mr.. Gould. Mr.. Dillon il
suave and polished, and comfortable aud
gentle in every way you Judge him, AIr.
Cornell is heavy IN pose, st0iid and cold
in manner. Authority sits mis- shoulders
easily, and vet ne seems born 10 oppose
rather than 20 lead.

Co1nell's G&lking IS cold, Lacking tbst

NIB. sAGE's MODEST TASTES.
Mr.. Field and Mr.. Cornell, who are th
"poor men" OF the party, both live N ia
better style than Mr., Sage. He lives YER
plainly in his modastly appointed HON
on Fifth avenue. he and his wife are G

there ere 70 children to gainsay then,
Mrs. Sage is distinguished for her interes
and benevolence toward hospital work
Mr.. S4ge tekes MS keeDest pleasure /

he never buys horse outright. He TO
